a kiss yet. Dye think l might tax

''Just as you like. John, only be be-

Surely, Janet, we'll ask a blessin'!'
The blessing was asked and the kiss
taken, and the unusual delight took
his breath as he exclaimed
"Heigh, lass! but it's guide! Moo
let us return thanks" and in SIX
months they were married.

She reads books, and she goes to the

ABOUT "~OSCULATION."
Kissing Considered from q Purely
Historical Standpoint.
III General Application In Olden Times
Remains Of the Practice in France
mi RussiA-C0urt Kissing
Religious and Military.

The subject Of this article, as stated
above, is oscillation; and oscillation is
mot to put too fine a point upon it,"
as Mr.. Snagsby would say-kissing.
Further definition is, we take 1t, UNI
necessary. Kisses. according to Sam
Slick. are like creation, because they
are made out of nothing, and are very
good. Another wag says they are like
sermons-they require two heads and
an application. An ingenious Amer
lean grsmmarian thus conjugates the
verb: "Buss, to kiss; rebus, to kiss
again; pluribus. to kiss without regard
70 number; sillybus, to kiss the hand
instead Of the lips; b~lunderbuss, to kiss
the wrong person; omnibus, to kiss
every person in the room; erobus, to
kiss in the dark" But kissing b allies
oil attempts at analysis, and Josh
Billings Is pretty accurate when he
says that the more o man tries to an
dyze = kiss the more he can't;
and that the best way to define a
kiss is to take one" Kisses
lend themselves readily enough to
classification. many and varied as they
are, and differing in kind. from the i'm
FASHIONED salute Of the lover to tho per-
functory kiss bestowed upon the greasy
court Testament. But with such a
classification, though interesting
enough, we have not here to do; WI
purpose to treat the subject rather his
toi1cally than analytically.
The British Apollo" when asked
Why kissing was so popular, what its
benefit, and who it's inventor, replied:
"Ah, madam, had you a lover you
would not come to Apollo for q solu-
uon, since there is no dispute but the
Kisses Of mutual love give infinite salts
action. As to its inventor, 1t Is cer-
tam that Nature was its author, and it
began with the first courtship." 1t
seems difficult to conceive Of q time
when kissing was unknown in this
Island, and yet q Scandinavian trsdi-
son states that kissing was introduced
i1'o England by Rowena, the beautiful
laughter Of Hengist. In Edward Tvs

Mrs. Cleveland Receiving.

Mrs. Cleveland's tact has never been
more quietly and yet successfully ex-
erted than in her simple policy of refus-
ing to close the door. on reception days
when the advertised hour of closing ar
rives. The demands of business, de-
lays of livery men, lateness of railway
rains, or thousand and one other
causes which make men swear IN brag-
CART style, prevent many people who
are naturally curious tc meet and know
Mrs. Cleveland from reaching the
White House door in time, and those
who have been thus delayed and, by her
kindness, haze yet been able to be pre-
scented, have grown quite ardent in
their praise of her act Strange as it
may seem, they are not few in number
nor do they come from a single city or

"Mrs. Cleveland's method of shaking

There is nothing more chilling TO call

Printers and Cooks.

One who travels much in this coun-
try and stays ut hotels gets the impress
sion that the hotel-keepers are much
more particular about choosing print
er that cook. Probably in no other
country are the bills of fare so fine, so
elaborate, so handsome, as ours. They
are often a fne-art and intellectual
treat. If person could live on an in
tellectual treat, no other people would
be so well fed at hotels as we are, We
do not spare language: French, Ger
man, sometimes English, are impress
ed into the service. The traveller can
not always read his bill of fare, but
that is the fault of his education; and
he is lucky in one thing-if he cannot
tell what he is going to have, he is
troubled by no disappointment, for he
can rarely tell what he has had after he
tastes it. A clamor is now and then
raised that the people Of the United
States, so assertive of their nationality
and proud of their language, ought to
have their bills of fare printed in En-
glish. The sufficient reply is that they
would not look as well not have so much
style, not seem to be so well worth the
money. Sometimes mixture of langua-
ges has good effect, for it adds intelligi-
bility to the air of good society. At a
recent banquet of the Carpenters
Union in n large Western city, the
'menu," among other curiosities, had
this course: PoIssoNs: turkey, duDdlO,
tongue. Sugar-cured ham" This was
naturally followed by hors d'euUre.
The introduction of a little French
enlivens a dinner, and in a mixed COM
pany where there may be those whose
faith excludes them from pork, the con-
science may be quoted by eating ham
as fish. The hotels, by all means,
should keep up their style. 1t is easier
to get up handsome bill of fare than
a good dinner, and when it is incon-
venient to have the latter, we cling to
the former. Those who want all the
bills printed in English are radicals,
who would drag down the bill to the
level of the dinner. 1t is said that good
wine needs no bush, and the time may
come when dinner will need no bill of
fare, or only one in English; but we
are not yet in the Millennium. We are
a reading people, and it is much more
important to our souls that we should
have something to read than something
to eat. Charles Dudley Warner, in
Editors Drawer, Hdrper's Magazine.

/, CAPABLE MAN, NOT n CLERK
FOR MAYOR.

The Morning News publishes
the following from the Evening
Times, with apparent approval;
The suggestion of The News that there
are "A dozen business men who could Afford
TO act as mayor and turn the salary over to
a charity is beyond all question. we wished
only 10 make 1t clear TO the people that IL Il
business man took the office 1t would be
solely from public spi rit. But the most
practical way TO do would be Tor Il business
man to pay a fair portion, perhaps all, OF the
salary 10 a man of his own selection, IN
whom he had implicit confidence, to act as
his private secretary, and to whom shoulu
be delegated the clerical duty OF checking
accounts examining vouchers ana DONG
such routine work as any confidential clerk
could do. This would not relieve the mayor
of responsibility, but 1t would save him so
much time and labor that the duties OF the
Office would not involve too great asacrihce'
In other words these papers
would have for mayor man who
is to enjoy the honor solely; leav-
ing the work, and consequently the
full authority if not the response
bility, to clerk, a 81 200 or 81 300
a year man, who possibly could
not get a hundred votes for mayor.
A man who desired to profit him
self largely at the expense of the
city, by aiding jobs and furthering
the interests of schemes, would
hardly want a better opportunity
than the confidential secretaryship
of such mayor as that indicated
in the paragraph above quoted
one satisfied with the honor of the
position, but with so much bust
ness of his own to claim all his
own time and business capacity,
that the city's affairs must be left
to his substitute. " Dallas will
hardly approve of that PROPOSE
ton. The city needs a competent
and trustworthy man for mayor,
for his time and ability in its SER
vice, and not for the mere hollow
name Of the thing.

Advice to Passengers.

Never run after a train that has got
out of sight. The train won't MIND
your being left. Out of sight, out OF
mind. Don't decry sectional feeling
on the railroad It's part of the sys'
tenn. Swear off on daypo, deepo, dep
pc, dippo. and depot, and learn to say
station. 1t is not only English; it is
correct. II the car is too warm don't
open the window on your suffering and
shivering neighbor. Take of your muf-
fler, fur gloves and buffalo overcoat; il
will be perfectly proper, even though
there are ladies in the car. Give Up
your pass, and pay yoor fare ike a
man. Every time you travel on a pass
some good man accent heavy on the
"good'') has to pay extra. 7. ST.
you decide to do this, don't waste youl
pass; send il TO me. Don't lie about
your 14-year-old boy any more. BE
honest, own up that he is 8 years old,
and pay half fare for him. Never ask
any question OF the station or tram mer
before getting aboard. Act like an old
traveller who knows II all, BY this
means you will often succeed in get

"Well, Mr. Speaker, that man was
so honest that he would not accept the
daughter as present, but the next day
he ran away with Clark's wife. Since

minded men from suspecting me, have
